Bridge House was built in the 16th Century, originally as a summer house and apple store for the now demolished Ambleside Hall. It was built over Stock Beck to escape land tax. It was then used as a cottage, a weaver’s and a gift shop. A family with six children is believed to have lived there at one time. Since 1956 it has been an information centre for the National Trust.
